SPOTTED!
DO YOU SMELL SOMETHING!?!: A certain bearded man was spotted walking his small, white dog yesterday evening. The man -- who despite his beard somewhat resembled a Midnight Cowboy-era Dustin Hoffman -- stood patiently as his dog gave a nearby fence a very thorough sniffing.
HMM ... JUICY!: A young man in a green, button-down shirt was seen purchasing a bottle of cranberry juice at a neighborhood deli over the weekend.
HEY, I'M TRYING TO READ HERE!: Just who was that 40-something woman thumbing half-heartedly through a copy of U.S. News and World Report on the metro yesterday? We don't know but on the cover of the magazine was a photograph of royal newlyweds, Charles and Camilla. Millions of viewers tuned-in to to see the princely nuptials, which were pushed back due to the funeral of Pope John Paul II, who passed away just a few days before Nobel prize-winning novelist Saul Bellow. Mr. Bellow wrote a novel called Henderson the Rain King, which was the inspiration for a song by Adam Duritz, the floppy-haired lead singer of the Counting Crows who name-checked Bob Dylan in a different song. Mr. Dylan wrote about his friendship with Bono, the philanthropic front man for the legendary rock band U2 in his recent autobiography. U2 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year by a man once dubbed "The next Bob Dylan," Bruce Springsteen, who took part in the "Vote for Change" tour that was intended to help John Kerry defeat George W. Bush in last November's presidential election. Better luck next time, Boss!
